Answer:
a) 12.5 in
b) 9.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the scale is 2:5, you can use cross multiplication. 5*5=2x; 25=2x. Divide 2 on both sides and.. BOOM! you get 12.5.
You can do the exact same thing with the second blank. 2*24=5x; 48=5x. Divide 5 on both sides and you get... 9.6 feet!
Hope this helps! :)
